The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office says a woman was taken into custody after being shot and injured following a police pursuit in Loveland.
The woman who has been identified as 54-year-old Emily Louise Minugh of Berthoud, was pulled over by deputies of LCSO around 1:36 a.m., westbound just east of the intersection of Colorado State Highway 402 and I-25 on Tuesday.
Deputies say they initiated a traffic stop on Minugh’s 2007 Honda Accord Sedan for having a revoked Colorado driver’s license, along with an active warrant for an arrest for failing to appear for DUI in a previous case with LCSO.
Minugh failed to pull over for the deputies’ emergency lights as she proceeded to elude authorities at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour, according to LCSO.
She then crashed near the intersection of Wheatridge Court and County Road 18.
Deputies say after the crash that’s when Minugh allegedly “opened the driver’s side door and produced a firearm,” which led to deputies firing shots and striking her several times.
